The Spectra Handy+ Manual Breast Pump is a compact, hand-operated pump for expressing milk without needing a plug point or a charged battery. It's small and light enough to slip into a bag, easy to assemble and take apart, and simple to keep clean — making it a practical option whether you're expressing occasionally, need something for on the go, or want a reliable backup for when the power's out.
Because expression is powered by your hand rather than a motor, you control the rhythm and strength yourself, and there's no cord, charging or load-shedding to work around. The Handy+ delivers a suction strength of up to 350 mmHg, and includes a removable silicone massager that sits against the breast for added comfort while you pump. All milk-contact parts are BPA free.
How it works
- Hand-powered suction: Squeezing the handle creates the vacuum that draws milk into the bottle, so you set the pace and pressure that feels right for you — no batteries or mains power required.
- Silicone massager: The removable silicone massager cushions the seal against the breast, designed to make expressing more comfortable.
- Silicone valve and diaphragm: The soft silicone valve and diaphragm help the pump build and hold its vacuum as you work the handle.
- 24 mm breast shield: The pump comes fitted with a 24 mm breast shield, the part that sits over the nipple and forms the seal during expression.
Easy to clean and carry
Assembly and disassembly are straightforward, and all parts can be washed and sterilised so you can keep the milk path hygienic between sessions. At around 0.2 kg it's genuinely portable, and it fits easily into a Spectra Cooler Kit or Tote Bag so you can keep it with your expressed milk when you're out and about.
Best For
The Spectra Handy+ Manual Breast Pump is a great option for parents who:
- Want a compact, hand-operated pump for occasional or on-the-go expression
- Need a power-independent backup for travel, commutes or load shedding
- Prefer to control the suction and rhythm by hand
- Are looking for an easy-to-clean pump with few parts to manage
It may not be the best fit if you pump frequently or exclusively and would prefer an electric or double pump to reduce active pumping time.
